Lipoma can occur at any age and to any person. But generally it occurs to middle aged people in the age group between 40 and 60 years. The rate of occurrence is 1 in 100. It is normal for individuals in this age group to have one or two lipoma growths in his/her body.
The Raccoon Dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides ânycto-â = Gr. ânight,â âereutesâ = Gr. âwanderer,â âprocyonâ = âraccoon,â â-oidesâ = Gr. â-oidâ) is a member of the canid family (which includes dogs, wolves, and foxes) and is indigenous to east Asia.
The specific name of the raccoon dog, procyonoides, literally means âsimilar to a raccoon,â which is obviously the case (see images), and its very name, raccoon dog, indicates that it has traits of both raccoon and dog. Raccoon dogs are currently assigned to Canidae, the same family as dogs, wolves and foxes.
